The 2011 NFL season will be played! Well, at least it will be played on Madden. EA Sports director of public relations Rob Semsey confirmed via email to me that Madden 12 would be released in August, complete with new features and product innovation. NFL players, the statement read, will continue to be featured.

Which is kind of a bummer because I always loved QB Eagles on the old Super Tecmo Bowl. Even more than Tecmo Bo Jackson.

Semsey declined further comment, but did say that more information would be revealed on Monday, March 21. What could that possibly be? The creators of the game previously revealed that surprise onsides kicks would be available for the first time.

What other features could Madden be coming up with? Icing the kicker (from NCAA fotoball)? Players getting fined and suspended for vicious hits? Created players coming with their own Twitter accounts to alienate their teammates?

Those would be kind of sweet.

What cool features would you want to see?
